Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. The monumental and technically highly sophisticated architecture of the Roman Empire continues to fascinate all who set eye on it. This volume traces the development of Roman architecture throughout Italy, Gaul, Spain, the Rhineland and North Africa from 800 B.C. to A.D. 330. From the Etruscans to Republican Rome and the eventual fall of the Roman Empire, this publication takes the reader on a vivid journey to Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, Nero's Domus Aurea in Rome and the lost cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Large format. Matt yellow paper boards, white titles. Colour photos.
A few minor grubby marks to boards. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly edge-creased with some light scuff marks.
